Ocean Friends (Submitted by Alex)
I used to have friends and best friends when I was younger. But now as I get older I find myself drawn to the ocean to fill that void. I submerge myself under the water and hold onto the seaweed beneath me and I let all my fears out in…

REtelling of the will
Our family found our late grandfather’s will and we are unsure what it means. It is nonsense! It doesn’t clearly detail what happens after his passing. Even lawyers are struggling to understand, and we need to figure out what it states before we can make a claim to his will.…

Nuclear Dreams (Submitted by Alex)
In my dreams last night I witnessed a glimpse of a nuclear fall out. I felt the heat around me whilst I watched the people closest to me perish to the instant swallow of the atomic tragedy. I was a survivor in a world now full of savage bandits who…

Life’s Not a Movie
Movies misguided me. The heroes are all known and loved by the citizens, yet here I am without anyone acknowledging I exist. I walk down the streets not making a difference to the people around me. I get bumped into often as people don’t notice or care about the physical…

Predictable Storylines
She didn’t know what was about to take place, but I knew. I had known it all along. I have seen this story play thousands of times and they all end the same. This little girl is going to be bullied in school and it leaves her to face the…

Shattered Mirror
The mirror across the room isn’t completely broken although you can see the cracks of it. What reflects back to me is not quite familiar, not quite strange. It still does the job you expect it to, it just isn’t the same as it used to be. The shattered glass…

Family Origins (submitted by Alex)
I have a mother and father who initiated my existence and gave me the foundations for my physical appearance. But my true creator is infinity, because that is where I came from, and that is where I will go after this life.

Upside down Handwriting
I had a dream once like I was seeing the future. The fear of writing upside down. I had a feeling I would write normally for a while and one day my brain would flip it and become a new habit. Have I ever written upside down before? No, unless…

Deathbed Regrets
When looking back on my life, while the last breaths in me escape, I think about all the people who were part of my life. So many encouraged me with warm words, many giving me a gentle smile as they passed by, a lot of attention, and more love than…

Fading Into the Crowd
It is so easy to fade away into a crowd. We all fade in and out of existence. Some call it standing in a crowd or being a stranger to those around us. We live invisible lives in the public eye but it doesn’t exclude our private lives. Friends forget…

Recluse Forced Outside
I just had to get out. My brother hacked into all my devices and technology in my apartment. I left my family home for a reason and kept to myself because it is easier to hide from the world and my family. My brother happens to be Chuck Domsburg so…

Fresh Ink (submitted by Squirmy Duck)
My pen exploded in my pocket today and no one told me. Blue ink everywhere, all over my fresh white shirt. I conducted several important meetings looking like this. Now I know why so many people were sniggering behind their hands when I was talking. I only noticed when I…

Cactus Longing
The sands are barren. There is nothing within my field of vision. The sun beams directly onto me and it can get quite warm. I have to store my water supplies and ration them out carefully. In the rare chance it rains, I store the water within my body for…

Astrology after Death
The laptop closes after I finish doing some more online shopping. My basket was filled with herbal medicine, hair dye, grey led pencils, and tarot cards. It seems to be everything I had on my list of things I wanted to buy for today. The pencils I already have sit…

Footsteps (Submitted by Juicy McBurger)
It was the sound of tiny feet padding across the carpet which woke me from my slumber. I smiled. My little girl woke me up this way most days. “Daddy!” she exclaimed as she jumped into bed to give me a cuddle. I squeezed her back. “Are you ok? Your…

Like Eyes to the Soul (Submitted by HullaBaloo)
Solitary stands the figure in the room before me. Judgment cast, contempt within its wandering eyes. Chastened by the sight of me: my grim complexion, my skin weathered and worn. Its face contorts uneasily. It holds no reservations, nor any such concessions. It Hates. So Unforgiving is the hatred born…

You Can’t Have Your Cake… (Submitted by Juicy McBurger)
You can’t have your cake and eat it too. I always thought this to be a silly statement. Upon reflection, however it makes a lot of sense. Once you eat the cake, it ceases to be. You no longer have it. You can’t have nothing. Whilst I’m sure this provides…

Brick by Brick
Life is like a house. The walls are the foundations and are made of our core values. The doors are all the opportunities that come into your life. The windows are the visions you have. Having a house without walls means there are no boundaries to how people can treat…

Wishing Into the Crystal Ball
A crystal ball in my possession. And it tells nothing but truths. This is a lot of power and I have it clasped in my palms. ‘What to ask, what to ask?’ I repeat aloud to myself before turning my attention to the crystal ball more prominently than before. The…
